Green manures

[Mike Vogel]

The voice of experience must always prevail over theory based on reading, Garlic Guy. I haven't used fenugreek, but maybe I should in the light of what you say. The climate in Bedford isn't the same as Bristol's though; the soil seems to me to stay cold well into the spring. When I first came here the wise old birds in the garden centres told me to sow and plant as if we were in the north rather than the south. But once we get into May, and sometimes earlier, it gets very dry around here. I think you have a moister climate. Nonetheless, i feel like trying fenugreek next year.
